Critical Time Intervention Custody Worker

CTI is part of a housing-led response to ending homelessness. CTI is an evidence-based model, designed for times of transition for people who require support to navigate often fragmented systems. It uses a time limited case management approach to support people through a period of transition which works towards preventing and ending homelessness. The model is strictly time limited and prescriptive in its application and Crisis' CTI pilot will run close to the CTI principles. The timing of movement through the phases is defined by the Programme model. CTI consists of four main phases: 1. Pre CTI: in which the relationship with the client is developed and their goals and ambitions are identified, (no timescale - could be days, months or years) 2. Transition: providing support & beginning to connect client to people and agencies that will assume the primary role of support and enable them to meet their goals (3 months) 3. Try out: monitoring and strengthening support network and client's skills (3 months) 4. Transfer of care: terminating CTI and stepping right back (3 months) The post holder will be working within the framework of CTI, supporting prison leavers from prison into accommodation, thus preventing homelessness on release from custody., Please note we're not responsible for the content of job ads, as they're posted by the recruiter.
